Dear Shareholders,
As you are all aware, this fi nancial year has led to further changes for Jasper Investments Limited(“JIL”), for which you
have been informed by various circulars to the media and through regular public announcements. For FY2016, JIL has
generated revenue from vessel advisory services and provision of services to third parties that acquired the company’s
previous assets.
Following on from the successful restructuring of the Jasper group during 2014/15 we commenced the new fi nancial
year with a clean corporate structure and some modest ship management and advisory contracts. To refl ect on the
chairman’s circular from last year’s annual report, the end result of the restructuring was that the company effectively
cleared many problems associated with previous offshore assets, subsidiaries and liabilities associated with the company’s
previously outstanding bonds. The company subsequently embarked on a strategy to continue to carry on the business
of providing vessel management and operations services and to maintain its listing on the SGX-ST.
In September 2015 the company received notice of a change of ownership in a signifi cant shareholding of the company
with the acquisition of a block of approximately 82% of the company’s equity by Triton Investments No. 8 LLP. The
new shareholders have continued with the strategy of leveraging on the company’s vessel management and operations
services and has been sourcing contracts for opportunities involving the provision of large barge transportation services
in connection with infrastructure works in the North Asian region directly and through its 100% subsidiary, Garnet 9
Carriers Pte Ltd.
The management have been successful in procuring initial contracts with a Chinese construction engineering company
based in Zhuhai, China for the provision of such barge transportation services. They are working to expand such contracts
and to also contract for the provision of suitable vessels to fulfi ll the master contract opportunities. Management
believes that further contracts are available within the North Asia region and is actively working with vessel brokers and
vessel owners to expand our capabilities and possible reach to expand in this very asset light facet of business.

LETTER TOSHAREHOLDERS
This asset light approach has permitted the company to operate on very modest levels of capital as management works
to bring strength back to the balance sheet and activities of the company. Management recognizes that sourcing suitable
vessels for deployment in North Asia does take some time. In addition vessels normally require refl agging and must
obtain appropriate permitting for operations from Hong Kong or China. This process does have an impact on our ability
to accelerate business expansion and fulfi llment of contracts. However we have been making steady progress in working
with vessel owners and appropriate authorities to mobilize vessels. Management has identifi ed several more sources of
vessel supply and would hope to engage their services and expand the business model into 2016/17.
Management of the company have been working hard to bring your company back from very diffi cult times that had
been experienced with its previous strategy of vessel ownership and management particularly orientated to the oil
and gas industry which has suffered signifi cant setbacks over the past two or three years. The company has successfully
eliminated its high exposure to this single sector and believes that the new strategy of working as an asset light company
for the short to medium term should benefi t shareholders and to also provide the company with the opportunity to
experience modest growth with limited capital deployment risk.
We would particularly like to thank the management team and the company advisors for their strong support and efforts
and cost consciousness during this initial year of redevelopment for your company. The Board of Directors has been
strong in its support in the reorganization, in working with new investors and providing valuable guidance in the creation
of a new strategy and its implementation. We are particularly thankful to our shareholders who have understood the
changes that were required in the company and have been supportive in understanding our planned way forward.

INTRODUCTION
The Directors and Management of the Group are committed to achieving and maintaining high standards of
corporate governance, in compliance with the principles set out in the Code of Corporate Governance 2012 (the
“Code”) and the relevant sections of the Listing Manual (the “Listing Manual”) issued by the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”). The provisions of the Code are applicable to annual reports relating to
fi nancial years commencing from 1 November 2012 (save for certain provisions which should be made at annual
general meetings following the end of fi nancial years commencing on or after 1 May 2016).
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is pleased to confi rm that for the fi nancial year ended 31 March 2016, the
Company had generally adhered to the guidelines as outlined in the Code. Where there are deviations from the
Code, the reasons for the deviations are explained accordingly.
BOARD MATTERS
Principle 1: The Board’s Conduct of Affairs
Every company should be headed by an effective Board to lead and control the company. The Board is collectively responsible for the success of the company. The Board works with Management to achieve this and the management remains accountable to the Board.
The Board is elected by the shareholders to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company.
Its main responsibility is to ensure the viability of the Company and to ensure that it is managed in the best interest
of the shareholders as a whole while taking into account the interests of other stakeholders.
The Board is responsible for setting the overall strategy, direction and long–term goals of the Group. It reviews
major investment and divestment proposals, risk management policies and practices, fi nancial objectives and key
business initiatives. Through committees, it also reviews the fi nancial performance of the Group and recommends the
framework of remuneration for the Board and key executives, approves nomination of Directors and appointments to
the various Board committees. In addition, the Board also assumes the responsibility for the Company’s compliance
with the guidelines on corporate governance. The Board will also consider sustainability issues such as environmental
and social factors as part of its strategic formulation in line with the recommendations of the Code.
Matters which are specifi cally reserved for the Board’s approval are signifi cant acquisitions and disposals of assets,
corporate or fi nancial restructuring, share issuance, dividend payments or other returns to shareholders, approval of
accounts and results announcements, matters involving confl icts of interest for a substantial shareholder or a director
and any major decision which may have an impact on the Group. Other matters are delegated to Board committees
and the Chief Executive Offi cer (“CEO”) for review and decision making. The Board committees and Management are
accountable to the Board.
To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established three (3) Board committees, namely the
Audit Committee (“AC”), Nominating Committee (“NC”) and Remuneration Committee (“RC”). The Board
delegates specifi c responsibilities to these Committees which operate within specifi ed terms of reference setting
out the scope of its duties and responsibilities and procedures governing the manner in which it is to operate and
how decisions are to be taken. The Committees have the authority to examine particular issues and report to the
Board with their recommendations. The Board accepts that while these Committees have the authority to examine
particular issues and will report to the Board their decisions and recommendations, the ultimate responsibility for the
fi nal decision on all matters lies with the entire Board.
Formal Board meetings are held quarterly to review the Group’s business and fi nancial performance, policies and
procedures, acquisitions and disposals and to approve the release of results to the Singapore Exchange Securities
Trading Limited (“SGX–ST”). In addition to the scheduled meetings, ad–hoc meetings are convened as and when
required for particular purposes. Board members may participate in meetings by telephone or video conference
which is permitted under the Company’s Articles of Association. All Board meetings are attended by at least one
Company Secretary who is responsible for ensuring that Board procedures are followed.

In addition to formal meetings, the Directors are frequently updated on pertinent developments in the business and
Company matters by Management via emails and telephone conferences. As some of the Board members are based
overseas, frequent updates are provided by the CEO and discussions with other Board members are regularly held
through emails and telephone conferences.
The Company does not have a formal training programme for new Directors. However to assist Directors in
discharging their duties, they are updated on the relevant laws, continuing listing obligations and standards requiring
compliance and their implications for the Group. Newly appointed Directors will be briefed by Management on the
operations of the Group so as to enable them to have a better understanding of the Group’s business. Directors are
encouraged to attend seminars and receive training to improve themselves in the discharge of their duties.
Principle 2: Board Composition and Guidance
There should be a strong and independent element on the Board, which is able to exercise objective judgment on corporate affairs independently, in particular, from Management. No individual or small group of individuals should be allowed to dominate the Board’s decision making.
The Board currently comprises four members. Three of the Directors are Independent Non-executive Directors and
one Director is Non-independent Non-executive Director.

Each Director is appointed based on the strength of his/her calibre, experience and potential to contribute to the
Company and its business. The Board is of the view that, given the Group’s current scope of business operations, the
current Board size and composition, which comprise one member with specialized industry knowledge as well as
others with diverse skills, experience and attributes, provides for effective direction for the Group. The Nominating
Committee will review the composition of the Board periodically to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix
of expertise and experience and collectively possess the necessary core competencies for effective functioning and
informed decision-making.
The Nominating Committee also reviews and determines the independence of each Director on an annual basis
based on the guidelines provided by the Code. The criterion for independence goes beyond the defi nition given
in the Code. The Board considers an “independent” director as one who has no relationship with the Company,
its related companies, its substantial shareholders or its offi cers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived
to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment of the conduct of the Group’s affairs. In
addition, an “independent” Director should also not represent the interests on any particular shareholder or group of
shareholders.
None of the Independent Directors has served on the Board of the Company beyond nine years from the date of his
appointment.
The profi les of each of the Directors are set out in the “Board of Directors” section of this Annual Report.
Particulars of interests of Directors who held offi ce at the end of the fi nancial year in shares, debentures, warrants
and share options in the Company and in related corporations (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries are set out in
the Directors’ Statement on pages 20 and 24 of this annual report.
Principle 3: Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer
There should be a clear division of responsibilities at the top of the company – the working of the Board and the executive responsibility of the company’s business – which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no one individual represents a considerable concentration of power
The Company notes the recommendation that the roles of the Chairman and the CEO should be separate and
distinct, each having their own areas of responsibilities. The operations of the Company are currently taken care
of primarily by Mr Ow Earng Hong, the Chief Operating Offi cer (“COO”), with oversight from the Chairman, Mr
Simpson Steven Barry John. With the retirement of Mr Simpson Steven Barry John as Chairman and Director with
effect from the conclusion of the forthcoming annual general meeting, Mr Ow Earng Hong will be appointed as
Executive Chairman and will continue to be the COO of the Company. Given the size of the operations of the
Company presently, the Company will not have in place any CEO. However, the Company is of the view that, in the
longer term and as the operations of the Company grows, a CEO (separate from the Chairman) should be appointed.
The Company believes that a distinctive separation of responsibilities between the Chairman and the CEO in the
longer term will ensure an appropriate balance of power, increased accountability and greater capacity of the Board
for independent decision-making,
Mr Ng Chee Keong is the currently the Lead Independent Director (“LID”) of the Company for shareholders in
situations where there are concerns and where communications with the Chairman, the COO or the CFO has failed
to resolve such concerns or may be inappropriate.
As LID, Mr Ng can also facilitate periodic meetings with the other Independent Directors in board matters, when
necessary and provides feedback to the Executive Chairman after such meeting. His other specifi c roles as LID
includes:
a) acting as liaison between the Independent Directors and the Chairman and COO and lead the Independent
Directors to provide non-executive perspectives in circumstances where it would be inappropriate for the
Chairman to serve in such capacity and to contribute a balanced viewpoint to the Board;

b) advising the Chairman of the Board as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the information submitted by
Management that is necessary or appropriate for the Independent Directors to effectively and responsibly
perform their duties; and
c) assisting the Board and offi cers of the Company in better ensuring compliance with and implementation of
corporate governance.
As Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Simpson Steven Barry John chairs the Board of Directors
and is primarily responsible for the effective working of the Board. As the COO, Mr Ow Earng Hong has overall
responsibility of the Group’s operations, organisational effectiveness and the implementation of Board policies and
decisions. Following the retirement of Mr Simpson Steven Barry John, Mr Ow Earng Hong will be the Executive
Chairman and will be primarily responsible for the effective working of the Board with oversight from the LID.
The Chairman and the COO of the Company are not related to each other.
The non-executive Directors will meet up without the presence of management, where necessary, to facilitate a more
effective check on the Management.
Mr Ng Chee Keong has notifi ed the Board of his decision to retire from his position as Independent Non-Executive
Director with effect from the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting and has, accordingly submitted
his resignation to the Board. Mr Chan Wai Kwong Michael, an Independent Non-Executive Director and Chairman of
the Audit Committee, will be appointed as the LID in place of Mr Ng Chee Keong.
Principle 4: Board Membership
There should be a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new directors to the Board.
The NC currently comprises three Directors, namely Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile (Independent Director), Mr Ng Chee
Keong (Lead Independent Director) and Mr Simpson Steven Barry John (Non-Independent Non-Executive Director).
The Chairman of the NC is Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile.
The NC serves to ensure a transparent process for the nomination of Directors to the Board and has the
responsibility of determining an appropriate process to review and evaluate the Board’s performance as a whole as
well as each individual Director on the Board.
The functions of the NC include:
administering nominations and re–nominations to the Board;
reviewing the structure, size and composition of the Board;
making recommendations to the Board on the review of board succession plans all Directors, in particular, the
Chairman and for the CEO;
making recommendations to the Board on the development of a process for evaluation of the performance of
the Board, its Board committees and Directors, and proposing objective performance criteria that address how
the Board has enhanced long-term shareholder value; and
making recommendations to the Board on the review of training and professional development programmes
for the Board.

It is also responsible for determining the independence of Board members in accordance to guidelines set out in the
Code. In determining whether each Director is able to devote suffi cient time to discharge his duty, the NC has taken
cognizance of the Code requirement, but is of the view that its assessment should not be restricted to the number
of board representations of each Director and his respective principal commitments per se. The contributions by
Directors to and during meetings of the Board and Board Committees as well as their attendance at such meetings in
addition to each of their principle commitments, should also be taken into account. The NC and the Board will review
the number of listed company board representations of the Directors on an annual basis or from time to time when
the need arises.
The NC is responsible for ensuring that the Board comprises individuals who are able to discharge their
responsibilities as Directors and identifying suitable candidates for appointment to the Board. It also reviews
the capabilities of the nominated candidates, taking into account his/her qualifications and experience, before
recommending the appointment of the candidates to the Board.
As time requirements are subjective, the NC recognises that its assessment of each Director’s ability to discharge
his or her duties adequately should not be confi ned to the sole criterion of the number of his or her board
representations. Thus, it will also take into account contributions by Directors during Board and Board Committee
meetings and their attendance at such meetings, in addition to each of their principal commitments.
The Constitution of the Company require one-third of the Board to retire from offi ce at each annual general meeting
(“AGM”). Accordingly, the Directors submit themselves for re-nomination and re-election at regular intervals of at
least once every three years. In recommending to the Board any re–nomination and re–election of existing Directors,
the NC takes into consideration factors such as participation at Board and Board committee meetings, the value of
the individual to the Board and the Company and his continued contribution to the needs of the Company and its
business.
Please refer to the Notice of AGM set out on Page 67 of the Annual Report for Directors proposed for re-
election. These Directors have expressed their consent to seek re-election as Directors of the Company at the
forthcoming AGM. The NC has recommended their nomination for re-election. The Board has accepted the NC’s
recommendation. Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile, being the Chairman of NC, abstained from deliberation and voting in respect
of his own nomination and assessment.
Where the need for a new Director arises, the NC will review the spectrum of expertise, skills and attributes of
the Board based on its existing composition. Subsequently, the NC will identify the Company’s needs and prepare a
shortlist of candidates with the appropriate profi le for nomination or re-nomination. Where necessary, the NC may
seek advice from external search consultants. A newly appointed Director will have to submit himself or herself for
retirement and election at an Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) immediately following his or her appointment and
thereafter, be subjected to retirement by rotation. Mr Chan Wai Kwong Michael was appointed by the Company in
FY2015 and has expressed his consent to seek re-election as Director of the Company at the forthcoming AGM.
Each member of the NC shall abstain from voting on any resolution with respect to the assessment of his
performance for re-nomination as a Director.
Alternate directorships in the Company are not encouraged by the NC.
Principle 5: Board Performance
There should be a formal assessment of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the contribution by each director to the effectiveness of the Board.
The NC is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness and performance of the Board as a whole taking into account
the complementary nature and collective nature of the Directors’ contribution and of each individual Director. A
formal review of the Board’s performance is undertaken collectively by the Board annually.

During the year, the NC has reviewed and affirmed the independence of the Company’s Independent Directors. It has
also reviewed the composition of the Board and profiles of Board members in relation to the needs of the Company
with the objective of achieving a balanced Board in terms of the mix of experience and expertise.
The NC also reviewed whether a Director who has multiple board representations is able to and has adequately
carried out effectively the duties as a Director. All Directors are required to declare their board representations.
The NC has reviewed the commitments of Directors with multiple board representations and is satisfi ed that the
Directors have and are able to more than adequately carry out their duties as Directors of the Company.
Principle 6: Access to Information
In order to fulfi l their responsibilities, board members should be provided with complete, adequate and timely information prior to board meetings and on an on-going basis.
The Board receives information on the Group on an on-going basis. Directors are provided with monthly
management accounts. In addition, relevant information on material events and transactions are circulated to
Directors as and when they arise. Directors are regularly updated on business and operations by Management via
emails and telephone conferences. The agenda for Board meetings are prepared in consultation with the Chairman
and relevant papers are provided to Directors in advance of Board and Board committee meetings. Non–executive
Directors have separate, independent and unrestricted access to Management and may also consult with other
employees and seek additional information if and when required.
The Board also has separate and independent access to the Company Secretary. All Board meetings are attended
by the Company Secretary who ensures that Board procedures are followed and applicable laws and regulations
are complied with. The Company Secretary also ensures information flow within the Board and its committees and
between Management and the Board. The appointment of the Company Secretary is a matter reserved for the Board.
Changes to regulations are closely monitored by Management. Where these changes have an important bearing on
the Company or the Directors’ disclosure obligations, Directors are briefed either during Board meetings or through
the Company Secretary.
Where necessary, the Directors may, in order to fulfil their roles and responsibilities, seek independent professional
advice, at the expense of the Company.
REMUNERATION MATTERS
Principle 7: Procedures for Developing Remuneration Policies
There should be a formal and transparent procedure for developing policy on executive remuneration and for fi xing the remuneration packages of individual directors. No director should be involved in deciding his own remuneration.
The RC comprises three members namely Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile (Independent Director), Mr Ng Chee Keong (Lead
Independent Director) and Mr Simpson Steven Barry John (Non-Independent Non-executive Director). The Chairman
of the RC is Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile.
The RC is responsible for ensuring a formal and transparent procedure for developing policy on executive
remuneration and for determining the remuneration packages of individual Directors and key management executives.
The RC recommends to the Board a framework of remuneration for the Directors serving on the Board and Board
committees and also senior executives. The recommendations of the RC are submitted for endorsement by the
entire Board. Each member of the RC is to abstain from voting on any resolutions and making any recommendations
and/or participating in any deliberations of the RC in respect of his/her remuneration package. As such, no Director
is involved in deciding his/her own remuneration. The RC also reviews and administers the Jasper Share Option Plan
(“Share Option Plan”) and the Jasper Share Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”).

Although none of the RC members specialize in the area of executive compensation, the RC has access to

Principle 8: Level and Mix of Remuneration
The level of remuneration should be appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the directors needed to run the company successfully but companies should avoid paying more than is necessary for this purpose. A signifi cant proportion of executive directors’ remuneration should be structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance.
In setting remuneration packages, the RC will take into consideration the pay and employment conditions within
the industry and in comparable companies with the view to reward successful performance and attract, retain and
motivate Directors and employees.
Prior to Mr Paul Pedersen’s resignation as the CEO, the CEO’s remuneration comprised base salary, allowance and
benefi ts. An amount of up to 75% of the CEO’s base salary for the year is payable as a bonus in the following year
based upon delivering performance in accordance with a set of key performance indicators determined by the Board.
No bonus has accrued in respect of the fi nancial year ended 31 March 2016.
The Company has noted that the Code has recommended the incorporation of appropriate “claw-back mechanisms”
to allow the Company to reclaim the variable incentive-based component of remuneration from directors and key
management personnel. The Remuneration Committee will look into this in due course.
Principle 9: Disclosure on Remuneration
Each company should provide clear disclosure of its remuneration policy, level and mix of remuneration, and the procedure for setting remuneration in the company’s annual report. It should provide disclosure in relation to its remuneration policies to enable investors to understand the link between remuneration paid to directors and key executives, and performance.
The Group’s remuneration policy aims to provide competitive compensation packages to reward performance and
attract, retain and motivate Directors and employees.
In reviewing the remuneration of Directors, the Board considers the Company’s performance, the responsibilities and
performance of Directors as well as pay conditions within the industry and comparable companies. The fees payable
to non–executive Directors refl ect the scope and extent of the Director’s responsibilities and obligations, based on
a remuneration framework comprising a base fee and additional fees based for their appointment and roles in the
respective Board committees. Such fees are recommended as a lump sum payment for approval by shareholders at
the AGM of the Company. No Director is involved in deciding his/her own remuneration.
Remuneration for the COO is formulated and reviewed by the RC. The remuneration package is intended to be
competitive and to motivate the COO to achieve the Company’s goals which should be aligned with shareholders’
interests. The COO has a fi xed term service contract.

In determining the remuneration package of senior executives, the RC takes into consideration their performance
and value–add to the Group, giving due regard to the fi nancial health and business needs of the Group. Currently the
Company has two share–based incentive schemes, the Jasper Share Option Plan and the Jasper Share Incentive Plan
(together the “Plans”) which allows employees to share in the growth and success of the Company. Details of the
Plans can be found in the “Directors’ Report” section of the Annual Report.
Following the streamlining of the Company’s group structure pursuant to its corporate restructuring, the Company
has two senior key executive offi cers: its COO, Mr Ow Earng Hong and its Chief Financial Offi cer, Liang Jing, Linda.
The aggregate amount of termination, retirement and post-employment benefi ts that may be granted to the
Directors, the Chief Operation Offi cer and the top fi ve key executives (who are not Directors) is US$280,157.
There is no employee of the Company and its subsidiaries who is an immediate family member of any Director or
the COO or a substantial shareholder and whose remuneration exceeds US$50,000 during the fi nancial year ended
31 March 2016.
As matters have been made in this Report, the Board is of the opinion that a separate remuneration report will not
be necessary.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT
Principle 10: Accountability
The Board should present a balanced and understandable assessment of the company’s performance, position and prospects.
The Board is accountable to the shareholders and is mindful of its obligations to furnish timely information and to
ensure full disclosure of material information to shareholders in compliance with statutory requirements and the
Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.
The Board aims to provide shareholders with a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s and
Group’s performance, position and prospects when presenting the annual fi nancial statements, announcements of
fi nancial results, material transactions and other matters relating to the Group. This responsibility extends to interim
and price sensitive public reports and reports to regulators, where required. Financial results and annual reports are
announced or issued within the legally prescribed periods.
Management is accountable to the Board. Management currently provides periodic fi nancial reports to the Board and
updates the Board regularly on the business operations of the Group.
Principle 11: Risk Management and Internal Controls
The Board is responsible for the governance of risk. The Board should ensure that Management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls to safeguard shareholders’ interests and the company’s assets, and should determine the nature and extent of the signifi cant risks which the Board is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that Management maintains a sound system of internal controls to safeguard

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company further notes that the Group’s operations and business practices should be audited or reviewed
periodically to provide reasonable assurance that internal controls established and maintained by Management are
operating effectively. Material non-compliance and internal control weakness noted during such audit or review should
be reported to the AC together with recommendations (including recommendations by the Company’s external
auditors) to address such non-compliance or weakness. Whilst the Company has in the past engaged third-party
internal auditors to carry out the aforesaid audit or review, after the reconstitution and separation process that
the Company undertook, the scale and complexity of the current operations of the Group as well as the corporate
structure of the Group have been greatly simplifi ed. It was determined that for the current fi nancial year the process
of internal audit would be best satisfi ed by the appointment of one of the Company’s directors (namely, Mr Chan Wai
Kwong, Michael, the AC Chairman) to carry out the internal audit function.
The Company does not have a Risk Management Committee. However, Management is expected to regularly review
the Group’s business and operational activities to identify areas of signifi cant business risks as well as appropriate
measures to control and mitigate these risks. The Management is further expected to review all signifi cant control
policies and procedures and highlights all signifi cant matters to the Board and the AC.
While no system can provide absolute assurance against material loss or fi nancial misstatement, the Group’s internal
controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the fi nancial
information and to safeguard and maintain accountability of its assets. The Board’s internal controls include approval
limits for expenditure, investments and divestments and cheque signatory arrangements.
Audit fi ndings and recommendations by the Company’s external auditors arising from the audit conducted by them
were promptly addressed and whenever possible resolved by Management.
Based on the foregoing, and with the concurrence of the AC, it is the opinion of the Board that there are adequate
controls to address fi nancial, operational, information technology and compliance risks of the Group within its
current business and operating environments. For the purposes of compliance with the Code, the Board has obtained
assurance from the Non-Independent Non-Executive Director and Independent Director that the Group’s fi nancial
records have been properly maintained and the fi nancial statements give a true and fair view of the Company’s
operations and fi nances, and an effective risk management and internal controls system has been put in place.
Principle 12: Audit Committee
The Board should establish an Audit Committee (“AC”) with written terms of reference which clearly set out its authority and duties.
The AC currently comprises four members namely, Mr Chan Wai Kwong Michael (Independent Director), Mr Ng
Chee Keong (Lead Independent Director), Mr Phillip Jeffrey Saile (Independent Director) and Mr Simpson Steven
Barry John (Non-Indpendpent Non-executive Director). Mr Chan Wai Kwong Michael is Chairman of the AC.
The AC’s scope of authority is formalized in its terms of reference, which include the statutory functions of an audit
committee as prescribed under the Companies Act of Singapore and applicable listing rules of the SGX–ST. The
Board is of the view that the AC members have the appropriate experience and qualifications to discharge their
responsibilities effectively.
The responsibilities of the AC include:
reviewing the signifi cant fi nancial reporting issues and judgements to ensure the integrity of the Company’s
fi nancial statements/announcements relating to the Company’s fi nancial performance;
reviewing and reporting to the Board annually the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal
controls, including fi nancial, operational, compliance and information technology controls;

reviewing with the external auditors their annual audit plan, findings and their recommendation to
Management as well as Management’s responses; their evaluation of the system of internal accounting controls
and their audit report;
reviewing the scope and results of the internal audit procedures; the assistance given by Management to the
external and internal auditors; and any formal announcements relating to the financial performance of the
Company and the Group prior to their submission to the Board; and
recommending the appointment or re–appointment of the external and internal auditors, taking into account
the scope and results of the audit and its cost effectiveness and the independence of the external and internal
auditors.
In performing its functions, the AC has full authority to investigate matters within its terms of reference.
Since 2006 and on the recommendation of the AC which was approved by the Board, the Company has put in
place a whistle-blowing framework whereby concerns of possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting or
other matters may be raised in confidence to the AC. These arrangements were effected to ensure independent
investigation of such matters and appropriate follow–up.
The AC met 4 times during the year, with 100% attendance record by its members. Invitations are also extended
to other Board members and Management to attend AC meetings. The AC has full access to both the internal and
external auditors and vice versa. During the year, the AC has met with the external auditors without the presence of
Management and has reviewed the overall scopes of both the internal and external audits.
The AC also has unrestricted access to the Management and has the full discretion to invite other Directors,
the CEO or any executives to its meetings. It also has access to adequate resources to enable it to discharge its
responsibilities properly.
The AC reviews the independence of the external auditors annually. During the year under review, the aggregate
amount of fees paid to the external auditors, Foo Kon Tan LLP (“FKT”), amounted to S$71,600, with the fees paid
for its provision of audit and non-audit services amounting to S$55,000 and S$16,600 respectively. The AC, having
reviewed the range and value of non-audit services performed by the external auditors, FKT, is satisfi ed that the
nature and extent of such services will not prejudice the independence and objectivity of the external auditors. The
AC has recommended that FKT be nominated for re-appointment as auditors at the forthcoming AGM.
FKT is an audit fi rm registered with the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. The AC and the
Board are satisfi ed that the standard and effectiveness of the audit of the Company would not be compromised in
compliance with Rule 712 and 715 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST. FKT is also the auditor of the Company’s
subsidiary, Garnet 9 Carrier Pte. Ltd.
The AC also reviewed the adequacy of the whistle blower arrangements instituted by the Group through which staff
and external parties may, in confi dence, raise concerns about possible improprieties in matters of fi nancial reporting
or other matters.
Principle 13: Internal Audit
The company should establish an internal audit function that is independent of the activities it audits.
The function of the IA is to provide objective opinions and assurances to the AC and Management as to the adequacy
of the internal control processes, identify business, financial and operational risks and to recommend the formulation
of policies and plans for effective compliance control.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
After the reconstitution and separation process that the Company undertook, the scale and complexity of
the current operations of the Group have been greatly simplifi ed. Due to the minimal transactions and simplifi ed
corporate structure, it was determined that for the current fi nancial year the process of internal audit would be best
satisfi ed by the appointment of one of the Company’s directors to carry out the internal audit function. In this regard,
the Company appointed the AC Chairman to specifi cally perform this role. For this year only, the AC Chairman will
conduct this internal audit. He has been given full access to all company fi nancial and operational information and
documents and has also been provided full access to previous third-party internal audit reports and processes. He
has drawn up internal audit plans and will assess the adequacy of the Company’s control processes with the aim of
assessing risk and compliance levels associated with each process. As the Company now moves toward its re-growth
in business and associated complexity, the Board will consider the appointment of a third party internal auditor.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Principles 14 and 15: Shareholder Rights and Communication with Shareholders
Companies should actively engage their shareholders and put in place an investor relations policy to promote regular, effective and fair communication with shareholders.
In accordance with the Company’s continuing disclosure obligations pursuant to the SGX–ST Listing Manual and the
Companies Act, the Company strives to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments that may
have a material impact on the Group on an adequate and timely basis.
The Company communicates information to shareholders through announcements released to the SGX–ST via
SGXNET. Such announcements include its yearly and quarterly fi nancial results, material transactions and other
developments relating to the Group requiring disclosure under the corporate disclosure policy of the SGX– ST. The
Company maintains a website (www.jasperinvests.com) where the public can access information on the Group.
All shareholders are sent the Annual Report together with the notice of the AGM. The notice of AGM, which sets out
the items of business to be transacted at the AGM, is also advertised in a mass circulated newspaper.
The Company has no offi cial policy on the payment of dividends, and the amount of dividends paid each year will
depend on factors that include the Group’s profi t level, cash position and future cash needs.
Principle 16: Conduct of Shareholder Meetings
Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at AGMs, and allow shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various matters affecting the company.
The Company’s main forum for dialogue with shareholders takes place at its AGM, where the members of the Board,
senior Management and the external auditors are in attendance. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the AGM and
other general meetings and the Company welcomes questions from shareholders who are given an opportunity to
raise issues and ask questions about the Company either formally or informally.
The Company’s Articles of Association allow a shareholder entitled to attend and vote to appoint two proxies
who need not be a shareholder to attend and vote on his/her behalf at general meetings. Resolutions requiring
shareholders’ approval are tabled separately for adoption at general meetings unless the matters for consideration
are closely related and would more appropriately be considered together. Items of special business to be transacted
at general meetings are accompanied, where required, by an explanation for the proposed resolution.
To have greater transparency in the voting process, the Company has adopted the voting of all its resolutions by poll
at its general meetings. The detailed voting results of each of the resolutions tabled will be announced immediately at
the meeting. The total numbers of votes cast for or against the resolutions will be also announced after the meeting
via SGXNET.

The Company’s share option plan (“Share Option Plan”) and share incentive plan (“Share Incentive

Extraordinary General Meeting held on 30 July 2009.
The Remuneration Committee (the “RC”) of the Company is responsible for administering the Share
Plans. As at the date of this report, the RC comprises the following members:-
Phillip Jeffrey Saile - Chairman (Independent Director)
Ng Chee Keong - Member (Independent Director)
Simpson Steven Barry John - Member (Non-Independent, Non-Executive Director)

of the Company so as to motivate them, and to give recognition to non-executive directors, employees
of the Company and its subsidiary who have contributed to the success of the Company and/or the
Group.
The Share Incentive Plan is a performance-cum-incentive scheme for employees of the Company and its
subsidiary (including non-executive Directors of the Company). The Share Incentive Plan is based on a
principle of pay-for-performance and is designed to reward, retain and motivate Group employees.
Subject to the prevailing legislation and the rules of the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”), the Company will have the fl exibility to deliver ordinary shares
in the capital of the Company (“Shares”) to participants upon exercise of their options or, as the case
may be, the vesting of their awards by way of:
(a) an issue of new Shares; and/or
(b) the delivery of existing Shares.
The aggregate number of new Shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Share
Option Plan on any date, when added to the number of new Shares issued and issuable in respect of
all awards granted under the Share Incentive Plan, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued
Shares (excluding treasury shares) on the day preceding that date.
The Share Plans shall continue in effect, at the discretion of the RC, up to (and including) 29 July
2019, provided always that the Share Plans may continue beyond the above stipulated period with the
approval of Shareholders in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be required.

(b) Other information regarding the Share Option Plan is as follows:
An option granted pursuant to the Share Option Plan represents a right to acquire the Shares which
are the subject of such option at the acquisition price per Share (“Exercise Price”) applicable thereto.
The selection of a participant and the number of Shares comprised in options to be offered to such
participant in accordance with the Share Option Plan shall be determined at the absolute discretion
of the RC, who shall take into account criteria such as his rank, job performance, years of service,
potential for future development and his contribution to the success and development of the Group.
The Exercise Price payable for each of the Shares which is the subject of an option may be fi xed (i) at
the market price of a Share; (ii) at a premium to the market price of a Share; (iii) at the market price of
a Share, but which may be adjusted (after the expiry of an incentive period) by a discount of up to 20%
of the market price of a Share; and/or (iv) at a discount (up-front) of up to 20% of the market price of a
Share.
In general, an option may be exercised by a participant, in whole or in part, during the exercise period
applicable to such option subject to any conditions (including any vesting schedule) that may be
imposed by the RC in relation to the vesting of any Shares comprised in that option.
(c) Unissued Shares under Options
There were no options granted under the Share Option Plan during the fi nancial year ended 31 March
2016. The options granted by the Company do not entitle the holders of the options, by virtue of such
holdings, to any right to participate in any share issue of any other company. No options were granted
during the fi nancial year to take up unissued shares of the Company.
The aggregate number of options granted since the commencement of the Share Option Plan to the
end of the fi nancial year is 33,000,000. The options were previously granted to former directors of the
Company and former employees of the Group. These options had been cancelled.
(d) Other information regarding the Share Incentive Plan is as follows:
Under the Share Incentive Plan, awards are granted to eligible participants. Awards represent the right
of a participant to receive fully paid Shares, their equivalent cash value or combinations thereof, free
of charge, provided that certain prescribed performance targets (if any) are met and upon expiry of
the prescribed vesting periods (where applicable). Participants are not required to pay for the grant of
awards.
The selection of a participant and the number of Shares which are the subject of each award to be
granted to a participant in accordance with the Share Incentive Plan shall be determined at the absolute
discretion of the RC, which shall take into account criteria such as his rank, job performance, years of
service and potential for future development, his contribution to the success and development of the
Group and, if applicable, the diffi culty with which the performance target(s) may be achieved within the
performance period.

Phillip Jeffrey Saile - Member (Independent Director)
Ng Chee Keong - Member (Independent Director)
The Audit Committee performs, amongst others, the functions set out in Section 201B of the Singapore

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTto the members of Jasper Investments Limited
Report on the fi nancial statements
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of Jasper Investments Limited (the “Company”) and its
subsidiary (the “Group”), which comprise the statements of fi nancial position of the Group and the Company as at
31 March 2016, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated statement of cash fl ows of the Group for the year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the fi nancial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffi cient to provide a reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly
authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair fi nancial statements
and to maintain accountability of assets.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true
and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group and the statement of fi nancial position of the
Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March
2016 and the fi nancial performance, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Group for the fi nancial year ended on
that date.

Emphasis of matter
We draw your attention to Note 2 (a) to the fi nancial statements which state that as at 31 March 2016, the Group’s
and Company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by US$263,000 and US$257,000 respectively. The Group
incurred a net loss after tax of US$419,000, total comprehensive loss of US$269,000 and has net cash outfl ows
of US$586,000 used in operating activities. The validity of the going concern assumption on which these fi nancial
statements are prepared depends on the ability of the Group to generate suffi cient cash fl ows from operations to
pay debts as and when they fall due. The Company has entered into two contracts for the provision of management
services during the fi nancial year, which are expected to continue to generate revenue subsequent to the fi nancial
year to meet operating cash fl ow requirements of the Group. If the Group is unable to continue on a going concern,
adjustments would have to be made to refl ect the situation that the assets may need to be realised other than in the
normal course of business and at amounts which could differ signifi cantly from the amounts stated in the statement
of fi nancial position. In addition, the Group may have to provide for further liabilities which may arise. In forming our
opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure of this matter on the fi nancial statements. Our opinion is
not qualifi ed in respect of this matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those
subsidiary incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors, have been properly kept in accordance with the
provisions of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2(a) Basis of preparation (Cont’d)
Going concern
The fi nancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group
will be able to meet their obligations as and when they fall due in the next 12 months. The Group’s and
Company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by US$263,000 and US$257,000 respectively. The Group
incurred a net loss after tax of US$419,000, total comprehensive loss of US$269,000 and has net cash
outfl ows of US$586,000 used in operating activities. The validity of the going concern assumption on which
these fi nancial statements are prepared depends on the ability of the Group to generate suffi cient cash fl ows
from operations to pay debts as and when they fall due. The Company has entered into two contracts for
the provision of management services during the fi nancial year, which are expected to continue to generate
revenue subsequent to the fi nancial year to meet operating cash fl ow requirements of the Group. If the Group
is unable to continue on a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to refl ect the situation that the
assets may need to be realised other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ
signifi cantly from the amounts stated in the statement of fi nancial position. In addition, the Group may have to
provide for further liabilities which may arise.
As at the date of this report, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to meet its obligations as
and when they fall due in the next 12 months based on the Group’s Cash Flow forecast. Accordingly, in the
opinion of the Directors of the Company, the fi nancial statements for the fi nancial year ended 31 March 2016
prepared on a going concern basis is appropriate.
Signifi cant accounting estimates and judgement
The preparation of the fi nancial statements in conformity with FRS requires the use of judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the fi nancial year. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.
The critical accounting estimates and assumptions used are described below:
Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a
fi nancial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group
considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and
default or signifi cant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash fl ows are estimated
based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of
the Group’s loans and receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed at Note 6 to the fi nancial
statements. If the present value of estimated future cash fl ows decrease by 5% from management’s estimates,
the impact to the Group’s impairment of loans and receivables is not signifi cant.
Income tax
Signifi cant judgement is included in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain
transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary
course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether
additional taxes will be due. Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that
were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period
in which such determination is made.
The accounting policies used by the Group have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
fi nancial statements.

2(b) Amendments to published standards effective in 2015
On 1 April 2015, the Group adopted the new or amended FRSs that are mandatory for application from
that date. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the
transitional provisions in the respective FRS. This includes the following FRSs which are relevant to the Group.
Reference Description
Amendments of FRS 19 Defi ned Benefi t Plan: Employee Contribution
Improvements to FRSs (January 2014)
FRS 24 Related Party Transactions
FRS 108 Operating Segments
The adoption of these new or amended FRSs did not result in substantial changes to the accounting policies of
the Group and had no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior fi nancial years except
for the following:
FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures
Improvements to FRSs (January 2014) FRS 24 Related Party Disclosures clarify that an entity providing key
management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is related
party of the reporting entity. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose
the expenses incurred for management services. The improvements to FRSs (January 2015) FRS 24 Related
Party Disclosures are effective from annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2014. As this is a disclosure
standard, it will not have any impact on the fi nancial performance or the fi nancial position of the Group when
implemented.
FRS 108 Operating Segments
The improvements to FRSs (January 2014) FRS 108 Operating Segments clarify that an entity shall only provide
reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if the segment assets are
reported regularly. In addition, the entity is required to disclose the judgements made by management in
applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments. The improvements to FRSs (January 2014) FRS 108
Operating Segments are effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. As this is a disclosure
standard, it will not have any impact on the fi nancial performance or the fi nancial position of the Group when
implemented.

2(c) FRS not yet effective (Cont’d)
The directors do not anticipate that the adoption of the above FRSs in future periods will have a material
impact on the fi nancial statements of the Group and the Company in the period of their initial adoption,
except for the following:
Singapore equivalent of IFRS 15 Revenue Contract from Customers
Singapore equivalent of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a framework for
determining when and how to recognise revenue. The objective of the standard is to establish the principles
that an entity shall apply to report useful information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash fl ows arising from a contract with a customer. The new standard applies to contracts with
customers. However, it does not apply to insurance contracts, fi nancial instruments or lease contracts, which
fall into the scope of other standards.
Singapore equivalent of IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group
is currently assessing the impact to the fi nancial statements.
Singapore equivalent of IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of Singapore equivalent of IFRS
Singapore equivalent of IFRS 1 establishes the requirements for fi rst time adoption of Singapore equivalent
of IFRS. The new standard applies to Singapore-incorporated companies listed on the Singapore Exchange
following the introduction of a new framework that is identical to IFRS. Singapore equivalent of IFRS 1 is
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is currently assessing the impact
on the fi nancial statements.

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiary
as at the end of the reporting period. The fi nancial statements of the subsidiary used in the preparation of
the consolidated fi nancial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent
accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intragroup balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intragroup
transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
A subsidiary is consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control
and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Losses and other comprehensive income are attributable to the non-controlling interest even if that results in
a defi cit balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
- de-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts as
at that date when control is lost;
- de-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
- de-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Consolidation (Cont’d)
- recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
- recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
- recognises any surplus or defi cit in profi t or loss;
- re-classifi es the Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to
profi t or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed,
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has all of the following:
- power over the investee;
- exposure, or rights or variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee
when the voting rights are suffi cient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the
Group’s voting rights in an investee are suffi cient to give it power, including:
- the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the
other vote holders;
- potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;
- rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
- any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current
ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting
patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiary that do not result in the Group losing control over
the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the
non-controlling interests are adjusted to refl ect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any
difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the
consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Group.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Consolidation (Cont’d)
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss and is calculated as
the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any
retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the
subsidiary and any non-controlling interest. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income
in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassifi ed to profi t or loss or transferred to another category of equity
as specifi ed/permitted by applicable FRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary
at the date when the control is lost is regarded as the fair value on the initial recognition for subsequent
accounting under FRS 39, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a
joint venture.
Transactions with Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of
the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within
equity in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the
Company.
Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control
are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and
non-controlling interests are adjusted to refl ect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any
difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the
consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
Plant and equipment and depreciation
Plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is computed utilising the straight-line method to write off the cost of
these assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Drilling rig 20 years
Equipment, furniture and fi ttings 3 years
Accommodation vessel under construction is not depreciated until the asset is completed and ready for use.
The cost of plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the
items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost of plant and equipment
if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using
the asset. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash fl ow hedges of
foreign currency purchases of plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that have been recognised is added to the
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefi ts, in excess of the standard
of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will fl ow to the Group and the cost can be
reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense during the fi nancial year in
which it is incurred.
For acquisitions and disposals during the fi nancial year, depreciation is provided from the month of acquisition
to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the books of
accounts until they are no longer in use.

Plant and equipment and depreciation (Cont’d)
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Depreciation methods, useful life and residual values are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each
reporting date as a change in estimates.
Investment in subsidiary
Investments in subsidiary are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, on an individual
subsidiary basis.
Financial assets
Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following categories: fi nancial assets
at fair value through profi t or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-
sale fi nancial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on the initial
recognition, depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. The designation of fi nancial assets is
re-evaluated and classifi cation may be changed at the reporting date with the exception that the designation of
fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is not revocable.
All fi nancial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or
sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs
except for fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, which are recognised at fair value.
Derecognition of fi nancial instruments occurs when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the fi nancial assets
expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An
assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is
objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or a group of fi nancial assets is impaired.
Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Non-compounding interest and other cash fl ows resulting from holding fi nancial assets are recognised in profi t
or loss when received, regardless of how the related carrying amount of fi nancial assets is measured.
The Group and the Company carry on the statements of fi nancial position the following categories of fi nancial
assets at the end of the reporting period.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets include non-derivative fi nancial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any
of the other categories of fi nancial assets. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends
to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of reporting period.
All fi nancial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in value
recognised in equity, net of any effects arising from income taxes, until the fi nancial assets is disposed of or
is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity is
included in profi t or loss for the period.

2(d) Summary of signifi cant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Financial assets (Cont’d)
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale fi nancial asset has been recognised directly in equity
and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly
in equity shall be removed from the equity and recognised in profi t or loss even though the fi nancial asset has
not been derecognised.
The amount of the cumulative loss that is removed from equity and recognised in profi t or loss shall be the
difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously recognised in profi t or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss for equity investments classifi ed as available-for-sale are not
subsequently reversed through profi t or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss for debt
instruments classifi ed as available-for-sale are subsequently reversed in profi t or loss if an increase in the
fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the
impairment loss.
Impairment losses recognised in a previous interim period in respect of available-for-sale equity investments
are not reversed even if the impairment losses would have been reduced or avoided had the impairment
assessment been made at a subsequent reporting period or end of reporting period.
Determination of fair value
The fair values of quoted fi nancial assets are based on current bid prices. If the market for a fi nancial asset
is not active, the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent
arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash
fl ow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs. Where fair value of unquoted
instruments cannot be measured reliably, fair value is determined by the transaction price.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to
a receivable with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for
maturities greater than 12 months after the end of reporting period. These are classifi ed as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments), amounts due from
subsidiary and cash and bank balances. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less impairment. If there is objective evidence that the asset has been impaired, the
fi nancial asset is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the original
effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s
recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised,
subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not
exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment or
write back is recognised in profi t or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and bank deposits which are readily convertible to cash and
which are subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in value.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary
shares are deducted against the share capital account.
Financial liabilities
The Group’s fi nancial liabilities include trade and other payables and amounts due to shareholder.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements of
the instrument. All interest-related charges are recognised as expense under fi nance costs in profi t or
loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specifi ed in the contract expire or are
discharged or cancelled.
Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction costs, if
any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less any principal
repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is taken
to profi t or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. All interest-related
charge are recognised as an expense in “fi nance cost” in profi t or loss.
Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.
Borrowings which are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of reporting period are included
in current liabilities in the statements of fi nancial position even though the original terms were for a period
longer than 12 months and an agreement to refi nance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is
completed after the end of reporting period. Borrowings to be settled within the Group’s normal operating
cycle are classifi ed as current. Other borrowings due to be settled more than 12 months after the end of
reporting period are included in non-current liabilities in the statements of fi nancial position.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost,
using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in profi t or loss as incurred except to the extent that they are capitalised.
Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or
sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised
until the assets are ready for their intended use or sale.
Operating leases
Rentals on operating leases are charged to profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease
incentives, if any, are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased
asset. Penalty payments on early termination, if any, are recognised in profi t or loss when incurred.

Income taxes
Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or
recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of reporting period.
Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the fi nancial statements except when the deferred income tax
arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and affects neither accounting or taxable profi t or loss at the time of the transaction.
A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiary,
except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is measured:
(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or
the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and
(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end
of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profi t or loss.
Employee benefi ts
Defi ned contribution plan
The Group participates in the defi ned contribution national pension schemes as provided by the laws of
the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore incorporated companies in the Group
contribute to the Central Provident Fund, a defi ned contribution plan regulated and managed by the
Government of Singapore, which applies to the majority of the employees. The contributions to pension
schemes are charged to profi t or loss in the period to which the contributions relate.
Short-term benefi ts
Short-term employee benefi t obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed in profi t or
loss in the accounting period in which the related service is provided.
A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profi t-sharing
plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employees and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Key management personnel
Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing
and controlling the activities of the entity. Directors of the Company and its subsidiary and certain managers
are considered key management personnel.

Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. Accrual is made for the
unconsumed leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of reporting period.
Employee Share Option Scheme and Share Incentive Plan
The Company operates share based compensation plans.
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. The fair value of the employee
services received in exchange for the grant of options and incentive shares are recognised as an expense
in profi t or loss with a corresponding increase in the share option and share plan reserve over the vesting
period. The total amount to be recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair
value of the options and incentive shares granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions
are included in the estimation of the number of shares under options and share incentive plan that are
expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises
its estimates of the number of shares under options and share incentive plan that are expected to become
exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of the estimates in profi t or loss,
with a corresponding adjustment to the share option and share incentive plan reserve over the remaining
vesting period.
When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction costs) and the related balance
previously recognised in the share option reserve are credited to share capital account, when new ordinary
shares are issued, or to the “treasury shares” account when treasury shares are re-issued to the employees.
In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, the fair value of options and incentive shares granted to
employees of its subsidiary is recognised as an increase in the cost of the Company’s investment in subsidiary,
with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period.
Related parties
A related party is defi ned as follows:
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group and Company if that
person:
(i) has control or joint control over the Company;
(ii) has signifi cant infl uence over the Company; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or Company or of a parent of the
Company.
(b) An entity is related to the Group and the Company if any of the following conditions applies:
(i) the entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent,
subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of
a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

Impairment of non-fi nancial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-fi nancial assets subject to impairment are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs will be identifi ed.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifi able cash fl ows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for
impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, refl ecting market
conditions less costs to sell and value-in-use, based on an internal discounted cash fl ow evaluation.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no
longer exist.
Any impairment loss is charged to profi t or loss, unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is
charged to equity.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.
A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to equity under the heading
revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was
previously recognised as an expense in profi t or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as
income in profi t or loss.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.
Revenue excludes goods and services taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue is
recognised if there are signifi cant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs
or the possible return of goods.
Revenue from the provision of management services is recognised when the services are rendered.
Interest income is recognised on a time-apportionment basis using the effective interest method.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the fi nancial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The fi nancial statements
of the Group and the Company are presented in United States dollars, which is also the functional currency of
the Company.
Conversion of foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognised in profi t or loss.
When a foreign operation is disposed of or any borrowings forming part of the net investment of the foreign
operation are repaid, a proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences is reclassifi ed to profi t
or loss, as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either other income or other operating
expense depending on whether foreign currency movements are in the net gain or net loss position.
Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at
the date when the fair values are determined.
Group entities
The results and fi nancial position of all the entities within the Group that have a functional currency different
from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the end of reporting period;
(ii) Income and expenses for each statement presenting profi t or loss and other comprehensive income
(i.e. including comparatives) shall be translated at exchange rates at the dates of transactions; and
(iii) All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the exchange reserve.

assets based on the geographical location of the operations.

22 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to fi nancial risks arising from its operations and the use of fi nancial instruments. The
key fi nancial risks included foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, market price risk, credit risk and liquidity
risk.
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to these fi nancial risks or the manner in which it manages
and measures the risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.
22.1 Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. Currency risk arises when transactions are denominated in foreign currencies.
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from expenses that are denominated in a currency
other than the respective functional currencies of group entities, primarily Singapore dollars (SGD). The foreign
currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly Singapore dollars (SGD).
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 5% (2015 - 5%) strengthening of USD against the
following currencies at the end of reporting period would increase/(decrease) loss net of tax and equity:
2016 2015
Loss netof tax Equity
Loss net
of tax Equity
US$’000 US$’000 US$’000 US$’000
SGD (8) (8) (10) (10)
Others (1) (1) – –
Sensitivity analysis
A 5% (2015 - 5%) weakening of the USD against the above currencies as at 31 March would have had the
equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other
variables remain constant.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
22 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)
22.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s exposure to the change in interest rates relates primarily to interest-bearing fi nancial liabilities.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Group on an on-going basis with the primary objective of limiting the
impact of short-term fl uctuation in the Group’s earnings.
As at the end of reporting period, the interest rate profi le of the Group’s interest-bearing fi nancial instruments
are as follows:
2016 2015
US$’000 US$’000
Fixed rate instrumentsSubstantial shareholder’s loan 870 –
Sensitivity analysis
A 1% point increase in interest rate would increase the Group’s loss net of tax by approximately US$7,221
(2015 - US$Nil).
On the other hand, a 1% point decrease in interest rate, with all other variables including tax rate being held
constant, would have had the equal opposite effect on the amount shown above, on the basis that all other
variables remain constant.
22.3 Market price risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate due to changes in market prices
whether those changes are caused by factors specifi c to the individual security or its issuer or factors affecting
all securities traded in the market.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group does not hold any quoted or marketable fi nancial instrument
and hence, is not exposed to any movements in market price.
22.4 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a fi nancial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Group to incur a fi nancial loss. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other
receivables. For other fi nancial assets, cash and bank balances, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing with
reputable fi nancial institutions.
For trade and other receivables, the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ fi nancial
condition but generally does not require collateral. Careful consideration is given to the reputation and
trustworthiness of potential clients before the Group tenders for a project and enters into a contract.
The Group believes that its credit risk in trade and other receivables is mitigated substantially by its credit
evaluation process, credit policies, and credit control and collection procedures.
The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful debts that represents its estimates of incurred losses in
respect of trade and other receivables. The collective loss is determined based on historical data of payment
statistic for similar fi nancial assets. Further details of credit risks on trade and other receivable are disclosed in
Note 6.

22.4 Credit risk (Cont’d)
Credit risk concentration profi le
The Group determines concentration of credit risk by monitoring its trade receivables on an on-going
basis. The Group’s trade receivables comprise 2 debtors (2015 - 1 debtor) that represented 100% of trade
receivables.
22.5 Liquidity risk
Liquidity or funding risk is the risk that the Group will encounter diffi culty in raising funds to meet
commitments associated with fi nancial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a fi nancial
asset quickly at close to its fair value.
The Group ensures that there are adequate funds to meet all its obligations in a timely and cost-effective
manner by providing management services in connection with the management of oil and gas vessels as
disclosed in Note 2(a).
The following are the contractual maturities of fi nancial liabilities, including interest payments and excluding the
impact of netting agreements:

23 Fair value measurement
FRSs defi ne fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
23.1 Fair value measurement of fi nancial instruments
Financial assets measured at fair value in the statement of fi nancial position are grouped into three Levels
of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defi ned based on the observability of signifi cant inputs to the
measurement, as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The following table shows the Levels within the hierarchy of fi nancial assets measured at fair value at 31 March
2016 and 31 March 2015:

The fair value of fi nancial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of
reporting period. The quoted market price used for fi nancial assets held by the Group is the current bid price
over-the-counter provided by brokers. This instrument is included in Level 1.

No material contracts to which the Company or any related company is a party and which involve Directors’
or controlling shareholders’ interest subsisted at, or have been entered into since the end of the fi nancial year.
